research design, data collection and preparation
analyzing data
mixing qualitative and quantitative methods
validity and reliability
methodological critique: postmodernism, post-structuralism and critical ethnography
political and ethical aspects of research
philosophy of social science

Each section is preceded by a short introduction placing the readings in context. This reader-text also includes features such as discussion questions and practical exercises.
